This is what I'm talking about. The leaders leading Africa for all these years are diseased with corruption and lack of integrity. In the ongoing CS nomination saga, Ruto appoints a former governor who has a pending corruption case involving over 1 B Kshs. Nothing unusual about this move tbh. Ruto was expected to appoint the worst crooks given his eternal dalliance with mediocrity. Since the constitution of Kenya mandates that no one with a graft case should serve in public office, the cabal springs into action to scatter the constitutional requirement. They force the public prosecutor to drop the case from court so that the appointee can sail through. However, EACC, the anti-corruption czar in Kenya refuses to acknowledge the prosecutor's dropping of this case because it was made after the CS had already been nominated, which is obviously sinister and aimed at serving the interests of a few people at the behest of 50 million people. Due to bad advise or no advise at all, Ruto and co belatedly force the prosecutor to backdate the dropping of the case to before the CS nominations. You see, if you surround yourself with mediocrity it follows you everywhere. If Ruto had surrounded himself with smart people they would have foreseen this drama to pinpoint perfection and forced the prosecutor to drop the case before Ruto nominated the former governor. He even delayed the nomination of CSs for a lengthy period, we all thought he was coming up with a jaw-dropping list of technocrats. Unfortunately for Ruto and his lapdog, EACC is the only Constitutional body that certifies whether one qualifies under Chapter 6 on the integrity of public officers to take up public office. This specific chapter is not about criminal conviction but either ongoing investigations or public perception. You don't even have to be guilty, just the mere perception in the public domain that you are corrupt is enough to disqualify you from holding public office. What Ruto is currently engaged in is mental gymnastics and then the court will rule the nomination NULL AND VOID AB INITIO according to the constitution! Needless to say, WE THE PEOPLE will fight to the last man any attempts at putting in office plunderers of public resources. In Kenya we say the govt cannot kill us all. Thats the spirit, which actually is the only way of staying free from tyrants. We will play this game to its logical conclusion and still send the despot home when the time comes.

The current generation of young Africans has no excuse about being held back by tribalism, bad governance, corruption, nepotism, etc when everything is in their hands now. All these problems have been perpetuated by old men and women who are by now already a minority in most of Africa. The young people from Gen Alphas, Gen Zs, and Millenials are already in most African countries over 70 % of the population and have the zeal and drive to change things. Its time to kick these old geezers out of power enmasse. These guys represent fear of authority, hopelessness, despondency, subjugation, tribalism, acceptance of the status quo, contentment with breadcrumbs, and most importantly the fear of imperialists and the fear of fighting corruption and bad governance. There is no excuse for that state of affairs continuing to prevail. None! A country's strength is shown when its people unite regardless of tribe or creed to demand for what they rightfully deserve, the proper use of their resources. I hope Nigerians also have these kinds of public barazas especially in low income hoods where the citizens openly speak their mind without fear. A poor Yoruba has more in common with a poor Igbo than with a rich Yoruba. Never waste your time defending a politician or attacking a fellow common man for the sake of the politician when the fellow common man is simply fighting for you and your future generations so that they dont suffer the same way you are suffering or suffered. https://x.com/AndieKeysh/status/1819345852231491865
Viva the Revolution!

ProblemChild1:Very nice. As it should be! It will be televised ![]() The oil guys finally advertised jobs for the first time in decades!! Until the African politician starts fearing the people nothing will ever change. Here we are still injecting maximumly nonstop 24/7/100 % Not letting go of their scruffy necks. They are using all means to return things back to the normal past but time, energy, and numbers are on the youths side. For you guys its infinitely easier with Tinubu because of his advanced age.

Great to see our Nigerian brothers protesting bad governance. Good show, police giving protestors water. I believe this is a first in Africa. It was the same with the Kenyan protests after the police realized they are fighting with a fearless generation that wont take No for an answer. The revolution must continue and its objectives must be achieved. As usual police brutality is expected. Police forces all over Africa were created and fashioned to protect a few white rulers from black people during the colonial rule. The same police forces are today there to protect politicians like Tinubu and Ruto from their populations. It too shall end, soon. I was dissapointed to see the army on the streets on day 1 in Nigeria. I dont understand that part. The army should only come in as a last resort after the politicians have been taught a proper lesson. In that aspect, I believe the Nigerian revolution has been watered down to some extent. But still way better than Ghana where only five people showed up for the protests. Not surprised. The people of the Gold Coast only make noise with their pens but when it comes to real actions you wont see them. The fight for tangible change in Africa needs fearless warriors. Martial the spirits of your ancestors and put an end to the bigoted corrupted uncaring ruthless pro-poverty ruling class that has misruled Africa for 60 years. |
Since parliament avoided its oversight job and became an appendage of the executive, it has fallen to the Judiciary to reject the products of that illicit union.

rvp2018:Why would a sensible govt prioritize Wifi hotspots over building and equipping classrooms in far flung areas like Turkana or Wajir?
Ruto took a loan of 52 B to install 25,000 hotspots that no one asked for and that dont even work. This is a criminal enterprise. In reality most of the money was stolen. You create a problem that doesn't exist and borrow loans to solve it while ignoring real problems just so that you can loot. ''But a spot check by the Nation at the three public WiFi spots revealed an inefficient and poor service, hence the public have not gotten value from the installation of the facility. A trader at Kitale Bus Park, Mark Keya said the WiFi service is inconsistent and has very poor connectivity'' https://nation.africa/kenya/news/weak-slow-or-dead-why-kenya-kwanza-s-free-public-wi-fi-promise-is-a-hotspot-of-frustrations-4604722#story In other news the appeals court has nullified last year's finance bill. Since Ruto took office he has no finance Act to his name like an impotent man. The tenor and effect is that there's no current Act to govern taxation and other issues aside from what Uhuru left in Finance Act 2022. The judiciary keeps teaching this incompetent cult lord a masterclass. Respect the constitution OR PERISH! His only option now is to fight corruption since avenues for extra taxation have been firmly shut. Attempts at taxing citizens senselessly while refusing to stop himself, his chronies, and govt from wanton looting have been thwarted. The crook is fully cornered. If this was a functioning democracy, after all that has happened by now which amount to a vote of no confidence he should have resigned. But watch him try to dig in and hang on to power because African tyrants like him think power is their personal property. The push for recall continues.

The people telling you not to protest are the highest paid pigs in the world (Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, SA). They didn't earn it and don't deserve it because on top of the salary they still loot from the coffers. They illegally gave themselves such huge perks at your expense.

rvp2018:The butcher of sugoi simply chose who to go down with. Political gerrymandering wont fix structural issues. He's stitching an anus to cure diarrhoea. Those CSs wont be approved due to legal challenges (most likely and as usual) OR the sheer weight of public pressure if NA approve them. In the coming days what will be most consequential, after the second fall of the CSs, will be the cataclysmic recall of parliament. With the Gen Zs turning the heat on the counties the recall is bound to happen. This is whats giving Sugoi man nightmares. Everything happening now is building up to that moment. Thats why he's back on a lying spree. He thinks it will work despite Kenyans being as hawk-eyed as never before. You saw how it backfired when he hired small crowds in Embu and Mombasa to cheer him yesterday after they became rowdy once he left without paying upfront. This time round people will be eating his money while waiting to cook his goose.
Paid goons cannot help him either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXdYHh8mG2E He has to stick to shooting and abducting. Politically he is castrated. He's just putting on a brave face. Raila wont save him. In fact that move has Raila more hated by his own lifelong supporters than Ruto. The long con in Kenyan politics is soon coming to an end.
The first rule of sustainability is to align with natural forces, or at least not try to defy them. During the French Revolution of 1789, the people first took over parliament and started to amend laws that would abolish the monarchy. That’s how they came up with the famous declaration of the rights of men. Within 5 years of the revolution they had changed the laws one by one until the King was stripped of all authority and the revolutionaries were running the country while he and his wife were forced to stay in the palace with no fancy lifestyle until they were finally executed by the guillotine after a trial by the National Assembly which represented the people. This is where we are at the moment.

In Africa, the politicians will steal money meant for roads then buy big SUVs so that they dont get stuck on the same bad roads they refused to tarmac. Kenyans have said enough is enough. The goal is to teach these enigmatic fools a lesson and FORCE a complete paradigmatic shift in the relationship between the electorate and the so-called leaders. In this video a leader was forced to alight from his SUV and walk on the muddy road.
|
rvp2018:You do realize by now even if Ruto ran against a dog the dog would win the election? |
rvp2018:What are you talking about RIP? You will be crying here for a very long time. The butcher of Sugoi has just missed his sixth consecutive international trip. He cant even dare leave the country ![]()
|
Thou shalt not threaten Kenyans, for Kenyans take threats as a sign of cowardice, insult, malice, and invitation to treat.
|
rvp2018:You actually believe the MPigs will seat in parliament and successfully vet those old rags as Kenyans watch? That parliament will be invaded again and this time the entire govt will be swept to Siberia. Before you start yapping brainlessly (and very typically Rutoistically) that the old CSs will not need to be vetted, according to the CoK 2010, CSs appointed to office must receive approval from the National Assembly as stipulated in Article 132 (2) (a). This requirement ensures that all appointments are subject to legislative oversight and are not unilateral decisions by the executive branch. If an appointment bypasses this approval process, it is considered null and void ab initio. CoK 2010 does not provide for the re-appointment of dismissed CSs, reinforcing the importance of proper legislative procedures in such appointments.
The lame duck is just adding to his never-ending streak of self-inflicted losses both on the political front and in the judiciary. I told you this will be a multi-round boxing match and he will be floored on each one! So far he has won nothing!! Ruto's never-ending losing streak By now only a fool or someone suffering extreme levels of denial thinks MPs matter. They are as useless as a chocolate teapot - done and dusted, until a new set is elected. They betrayed the trust of Kenyans in unforgivable ways. This is actually a direct result of Ruto's false sense of mastership and entitlement when he bought opposition MPs using money to emasculate all opposition and leave him free to loot and defile the constitution. He pushed too far. Over half of the old CSs he fired were not even fit to serve if he had adhered to the constitution. The MPigs rubber-stamped all of them despite being warned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6i-8qtF-RAU?si=DJ-uoGJjC2Hk1NDA They cant do anything now, AT ALL!!. They are that useless. The only thing they are slowly trying to do is to win their constituents back but it doesn't seem like anyone is ready to forgive them. He can have all MPs in the country, including all of Raila's but still be a toothless dog. Fyi, Raila, that old confused geezer, jumped ship. He has sensed whats coming. Ruto is all alone now vs THE PEOPLE (55 Million strong). Even Baba wouldn't have saved him. Zakayo has no pocket of support anywhere in the country. Whichever political moves he pulls will be inconsequential self-aggrandizement. At this moment he is seating on a powder keg ready to blow him to pieces. We will be here to witness the spectacular downfall. He had another chance to redeem himself with a fresh face of CSs but chose to show us the middle finger, just like he did with the finance bill. Whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad. Watch him try to force back those old rags and the dire repercussions he will face. |
@RIP Translate this for us ![]()

Saddamochieng00:
Keep crying. |
@RIP this is how we will celebrate the imminent fall of Zakayo. Overseas Kenyans are already celebrating his political sayun!

These are the free-spirited fearless youths Ruto is trying to tame.Lol, good luck with that! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwk4xhEs_Lo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20NFHRLq8zQ&t=181s |
rvp2018:None of the old faces will be approved. Just wait and see. Zakayo is playing with fire. We dont care about his heart. He is not the constitution. The constitution has stipulations for who can be appointed but he is afraid of letting go of the only people giving him some sort of power to hang on. Ruto's plan is to fool his friends that he trusts them but once the people hit the streets he will swiftly drop them and tell them,,,,you see, its not me but the people who dont want you. |
GeneralDae:The people who burn and destroy property are hired goons by the government. They do that to discredit protesters who have genuine demands and justify the use of lethal force. Very self-serving. This was established beyond reasonable doubt atleast here in Kenya during the protests. Goons were recorded in the residences of senior govt officials being issued with money and batons to attack peaceful protestors and destroy property, including looting and burning. Unbeknownst to them, their plans were scattered across the country because goons with batons were neutralized everywhere. Some were seriously beaten and confessed to having been sent by politicians. You can see here.
https://x.com/Tuko_co_ke/status/1813142505946247665 They only used goons on two protest days but citizens outwitted them completely. The key is to outmuscle govt propaganda in such cases. They lost that one very badly and were left with eggs on their faces even internationally.
The people who loot are usually a very small group that cannot outdo millions of peaceful citizens so long as they carry no guns. I can tell you authoritatively that goons are not going to have any major influence in future protests. If you're caught looting youre swiftly arrested and handed over to police. This happened last week. At the moment rogue police are the major risk because they shoot aimlessly on command from above to scare protestors but even those ones will be dealt with. You cannot let a few fellow citizens armed with nothing more than clubs to terrorize you. The govt should only employ its monopoly of violence using govt institutions like the police and army but equally be prepared for the fallout when they are out of power. Everywhere across the civilized world citizens should express their frustrations openly and the govt should deal with any rowdy groups but in Africa they intentionally fund, facilitate travel, and let the rowdy goons operate unimpeded as a strategy of countering genuine airing of grievances. |
GeneralDae:Everything that was destroyed during those protests is not even 0.1 % of the money stolen from Nigeria every day. If you pushed the govt to cut corruption by even half you wouldn't imagine the kind of things that could be built with the saved money. |
GeneralDae:Something has to give. If one day you make an inch of progress by presenting peaceful petitions to Aso Rock I will pay you special homage. That cannot work in Africa. The politicians will be more than happy to have such protests every day and change nothing. The so-called leaders will be compromised by govt and paid to calm you down. You might as well be one of them from the way you go about things here. In Kenya we tried raising voices for two years protesting bad governance and budgeted corruption but a protest that took less than a month addressed all those concerns. The govt is now in the middle of painstakingly addressing the concerns that one month ago they would never even have imagined bothering. Ofcourse its not easy and they are trying every delay tactic and gimmicks but the prospect of being overwhelmed by nationwide protests is scaring them. You stick to that nonsense of talks with leaders who dont give one s.hit about you and see where it gets you. |
samorobo:No protests are going on in Kenya today. You might be watching clips of Bangladesh. |
Our work in the streets is inspiring everybody. Arsenal just released a Kenya-themed away kit. Great way to pay homage to the young sons and daughters of the soil who are laying down the template for routing out criminal rulers across Africa. The only thing The Arsenal forgot was the hashtags RutoMustGo and AngukaNayo

@RIP this office never existed. It was created as a conduit for Ruto's henchmen to repay themselves after spending in the elections.
|
rvp2018:Only the office of the first lady existed in prev govt and even it wasnt nearly as obscenely funded as the one we just discarded. The office is outrightly unconstitutional and Rachael should stop dreaming of getting funding through that office. Of note is that Ruto multiplied his office's capitation tenfold despite creating three additional unconstitutional offices. Mwizi ni mwizi tu. And the wife does nothing with the money that is of value to Kenyans except inviting criminal preachers from overseas and paying halfwits to ''pray'' for Kenya. That entire family is cursed due to their bloodline that is made of theft. You can see the blunder the Sugoi butcher has made today. Everything he is doing is suicidal.

Fixing the rotten system one department at a time. You can imagine a whole president and his deputy creating offices for their spouses and funding those offices, which exist nowhere in the constitution, to the tune of 1.25 Billion Kshs or about 15 Billion Naira every year. Yet the president and his deputy each has an office and an official residence each separately funded to the tune of billions. Anyone who does this is a diabolical maniac that deserves to retire. We have never hit these lows previously where the president is always looking for a loophole to steal public resources. This kind of depraved mentality is very hard to explain even from an evolutionary perspective. These are people who endlessly portrayed themselves as the most saved people in Kenya. And they wonder why the youth no longer give a piss about religion. The entire rotten political filth will be done away with.

rvp2018:Sikio la kufa haliskii dawa. Till now you still think IMF is the central issue. It was just a trigger. By now you should understand that Ruto is a lame duck president waiting for his time to come. He knows as well as everyone that the rot in his govt is what the people want changed COMPLETELY. No half measures! And that includes the head of the fish, Ruto himself. Untill he does what the people are saying he is just expending energy uselessly. People want all senior govt officials' salaries chopped by over 50 % not by word of mouth but in reality. People want all MPs gone, esp those who voted for the oppressive bill. Some of the demanded changes MAY require referendum. NG-CDF, number of governors, senators, women reps and their salaries etc. People are demanding accountability not as a matter of necessity but urgency. Keep fixating on IMF to run away from the reality staring you in the face. The MPigs gathered like wolves to pass a bill to oppress the people the same way they have always gathered to raise their salaries, now is the era of aura for aura. The people have to fix the system. People will push this entire political establishment to oblivion unless they change with the times and fulfill ALL the demands. The MPs to this day cannot dare mention the president's name in their constituencies and you think somehow people are just fools to let Ruto get away with this and return to normalcy? Aint gonna happen. People are more than happy to keep life hell for ALL politicians, including the so-called opposition, untill such a time when IEBC will be ready and an election can be held. The entire slate will be wiped clean. By the time we have a new dispensation, MPs will be earning the same salaries as doctors with meagre allowances. Every coin that is spent by govt will be accounted for, even if it entails having blockchain systems in place for all govt transactions. You dont understand what it means dealing with 30-40 million youth who have all the time in the world to waste and zero tolerance to BS. Ruto is the one without time. The sooner he smells the coffee the better. The inflation you're celebrating now is only down due to IMF dollars. Because Ruto spent the first 20 months in office recovering campaign monies and enriching his close circle of tribal cabal. The economy was TANKING by the time he ran to IMF all because looting was nearing Mobutu levels. A Ksh that was at 120 by the time Uhuru left was at 160. Ruto is beholden to IMF only because he thought the country had limitless resources to loot and fill the bottomless pockets of akina Murkomen. Now you idiots expect us to congratulate him for taking a shilling that was at 120 by the time he took office to 130 from an all-time low he orchestrated of 160. Why would he bribe MPs 2 M bob to vote for the bill and kill those who oppose the bill? Because he loves us too much heh? We are not fools and he isnt nearly as smart as he thinks or his apologists trying to make him. That IMF bill was meant to cover his sins/loonatic theft and open more doors for looting because IMF money cannot be accounted for and IMF likes it that way so that they can keep profiting off the sweat of Africans who remain in abject poverty trying to repay looted monies that never increased productivity in the country. We are not fools my friend. The sooner Ruto realizes this the better, and the public rebellion wont cease untill he goes. I frankly cant see him surviving this one. Even those IDs and passports that the govt no longer issues due to the rot at Nyayo house he will issue them by force and fire so that all the youth kick him out. He wont believe. This generation will force him to do everything that is needed to send him and his ilk home. You guys arent even ashamed of returning us back to the Moi era when getting an ID or passport had to be a struggle and you'd have to pay a bribe for every goddamn service! Kenyans have cried day and night to be issued with IDs and no one cares unless you pay a bribe. Listen, RIP, I know we are in the post -tribal-ism era and Gen Zs might kill me for this but I have always said as a Luo that if Kenya has to be led by a Kikuyu or Kalenjin, it better be a Kikuyu every time. The Kikuyu will steal from you, invest the money locally, build infrastructure, but still ensure every govt service is working efficiently, business is thriving, and wont flaunt the stolen wealth. Compare that to your people who will steal from you, take all the money abroad, build nothing, make sure you cant get even basic govt services, destroy business and industry, flaunt the wealth stolen from you and vomit on your shoes, and when you raise a voice step on your head and smash it. Thats the reality, but I am glad the Gen Zs have shown us that we dont have to settle for mediocrity when we have the actual power if we are united tribeless. We want a fresh start where all the rules will be dictated by the citizens. The executive cannot continue setting the rules that favor only them. The MPigs, all of those fools will go home. None of them will return. Every CS appointed will have to be as clean as a whistle. That is the bare minimum. Ruto cannot and should not even dream of appointing his chronies and corrupted humanoids. Even from Raila's camp. That is ofcourse if he wants to last till 2027. One wrong move and he will not survive. The best thing this revolution has achieved is that Kenyans finally managed to banish politicians from the top of society. They're no longer admired for their wealth and Kenyans are actually disgusted by them. This is the real weapon that will finish the grand corruption problem |
Wuoche:The IMF rewards crooks like Ruto. The moment you hear that your prez is working with IMF just know he is a mega thief. |
Tuesday is the date!
|
@ RIP, when govt officials start speaking like this its about time
|
rvp2018:Hubris! This sort of arrogance will end very soon. You wont believe what will hit your mad govt. We dont need IMF. Show me one country that succeeded with IMF. We dont even want to hear that acronym! Ruto has to figure out how to work without IMF or go home.
|
Not letting go of their scruffy necks. They are using all means to return things back to the normal past but time, energy, and numbers are on the youths side. For you guys its infinitely easier with Tinubu because of his advanced age.
